AMUSEMENTS.

FOLEY'S PICTURES. THE EAGLE'S NEST. At His Majesty's Theatre to-night the star feature is a Lubin six-reel drama, "The Eagle's Nest," a stirring story of the wild days in America, when so many lives were in danger owing to the savage tribes of Indians. It is a picture which grips, and the J exciting incidents crowded into the picture have caused much enthusiasm wherever this film has been shown. A battle with Indians and a burning emigrant train are two very striking features of the picture. The supporting picture are a quaint comedy entitled "Mutt and Jeff in an Aeroplane" and the popular "War Gazette." The usual matinee will be held on Saturday at 1.30. \ REGAN STREET SOCIAL, With the object-of for furnishing the Trs#||am Institute, a social and! took place in the Regan Street Schoolroom last evening, when there was a good attendance. The opening item was a pianoforte solo by the Misses Evans and White, and was followed by 'The Veterans Song," Mr P. Aitken, having to respond with "Lucky Jim." Miss L.
